Why do I only see a few days’ worth of email messages on my mobile device?
Due to the size, space, and bandwidth limitations of mobile devices, it’s a recommended best practice to only replicate a subset of the entire mailbox. Using the search feature of your mobile mailbox will allow you to recall and download specific messages regardless of age. Although it’s not recommended or supported, it is possible to adjust the settings of the mail profile on your mobile device to replicate your entire mailbox. This custom setting may be overwritten if UConn Health needs to push changes to the mail profile on your mobile device. Please Note: The days to sync setting will also default back to 3 days whenever an Apple iOS update occurs.
